California Fire
Igniting Desires: Julianna Zachariou's California Fire Revealed
Lyrics
She’s got a fever
She is passionately intense and emotionally charged.
And she’s burning your shit down
She is causing destruction or chaos in your life.
The second you leave herx
Her actions occur immediately upon your departure.
Yeah she’s got a fever
Reiterates her intense emotional state and potential for destructive behavior.
And she ain’t afraid to light you up
She is unafraid to express her intense emotions and cause trouble.
If you can’t please her
If you fail to satisfy her, she may retaliate.
And I’m terrified, I’m a pile of leaves
The narrator is feeling vulnerable and fragile.
Another California fire isn’t what we need No, no
Expresses the fear of another emotional upheaval, drawing parallels to a destructive California fire.
Yeah I got a fever
The narrator also experiences an intense emotional state.
And I laid in bed all day trying not to need her
The narrator is attempting to distance themselves and suppress their emotional needs.
Yeah I got a fever
Reiterates the narrator's emotional struggle and desire to overcome it.
But I’m trying to choke it out Like a mighty cedar
The narrator is trying to control and suppress their feverish emotions.
‘Cause I’m terrified, I’m a golden grass
The narrator feels vulnerable and exposed.
Another California fire isn’t what I asked for
Expresses discontent with the unexpected emotional turmoil, comparing it to an unwanted fire.
What I asked for
Emphasizes the narrator's dissatisfaction with the current emotional situation.
But when I close my eyes, I’m a gust of wind
Imagery of escaping reality and becoming a force of change.
Another California fire is a rolling in
Suggests the inevitability of another emotional upheaval.
Yeah when I close my eyes, I’m a gust of wind
Reiterates the narrator's desire for change and the potential for another emotional fire.
Another California fire is a rolling in
Repeats the anticipation of another emotional upheaval.
Is a rolling in I’m a rolling in
Emphasizes the impending emotional turmoil that the narrator is embracing or succumbing to.
